Work in this course must adhere to the Code of Academic
Responsibility and Conduct as cited in "Rights &
Responsibilities of Community: A Code of Student Conduct" (1993)
pp. 29-30. "The academic community is operated on that basis of
honesty, integrity, and fair play. Occasionally, this trust is
violated when cheating occurs, either inadvertently or
deliberately .....Faculty members may fail the student for the
particular assignment, test, or course involved, or they may
recommend that the student drop the course in question, or these
penalties may be varied with the gravity of the offense and the
circumstances of the particular case."

Academic dishonesty can be divided into four categories and
defined as follows:

Cheating: Intentionally using or attemping to use
unauthorized materials, information or study aids in any
academic exercise.

Fabrication: Intentional and unauthorized falsification or
invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.

Facilitating academic dishonesty: Intentionally or knowingly
helping or attempting to help another to commit an act of
academic dishonesty.

Plagiarism: Intentionally or knowingly representing the
words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic exercise.
